Jamaican restaurant Ting Irie opens in Dubai

Ting Irie, Dubai’s first home-grown Jamaican restaurant, has just opened in Souk Al Manzil, Downtown Dubai. The restaurant comes from acclaimed executive chef Craig Wong, who has combined his Jamaican-Chinese heritage with the culinary techniques and discipline he learnt after years of working in Michelin-starred restaurants including Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée and Heston Blumental’s Fat Duck. The restaurant uses ingredients imported from Jamaica such as Scotch bonnet peppers and pimento seeds, but organic produce and meats are sourced locally.
